My brother-in-law has passed away with Coronavirus

Hello

Sad news, my sister’s husband, John passed away this morning, due to Coronavirus he caught in hospital. John did have underlying health issues. My sister, Sue hasn’t been able to visit him since he was admitted on 19 March. So very sad as we lost our lovely mum on 30 January.

I can’t currently visit my sister because of the lockdown, but fortunately John has a sister, Valerie who is supporting my sister. She can’t even arrange a proper funeral - nobody is allowed to attend.

Scary times - stay safe - stay at home.

Jo xx

Jo.. I I’m sorry to hear this...my friend passed last month ( not of the virus) but there can’t be a funeral ...we are all going to light a candle on Monday when she will be cremated....it’s so sad that her family can’t pay their last respects but we will never forget her

I hope you can maybe do something like that for your brother in law

Very sad

Oh thats so sad jo. Im so very sorry for both losses. What a tough time youre having. Thats the cruel thing with CV isnt it, people being alone. So so sad.

My friends mum died recently and they couldnt have a proper funeral. they managed to get some sort of on line thing going and all raised a glass together which was some comfort. try to stay strong and when this is over maybe you can have some sort of memorial service. Big hugs and best wishes xxx

This must be a really sad time for your sister and the rest of your family. What makes it worse is that no one can properly grieve or say goodbye. May he Rest In Peace.

So very sorry to hear about your mom and now your brother-in-law. These are terrible, sad times where people are ill, dying and buried without loved ones.

I’ve no words of comfort but hope your sister will somehow find peace of mind in the midst of this sadness.

Condolences and hugs,

Kathleen

I’m sorry Sunny. This seems to be the worse part of the whole ideal, pulling apart families so they can’t be there together in a time of crisis. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest condolences to you, your sister and family. So sad think people are dying alone and grieving family can’t have their family and friends close by for much needed for personal support, love and caring. Let’s hope and pray this ends soon for everyone.

I can only try to imagine how horribly painful this must be for your family! Is there anything we can do, besides sending you notes here? A time to light a candle or drink a toast or hug a pillow, notes you can forwqrd to your sister? To have this happen in the isolation this virus is putting of us, with no final hugs or words or prayers, no family huddled together ...... it makes me so sad just to think about and here your dear family is living it...... love and prayers and peace to you, dear sister in cancer!

I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. Yes the fact of people dying alone without family and not being able to hold funeral services makes it all so much more tragic. My condolences.
